Hitler or Hippocrates: Medical Experiments and euthanasia in the Third Reich (1991) By Paul Hoedeman
Describes the Nazi "euthanasia program" which was prepared and implemented by Karl Brandt and Leonardo Conti. This shows that whereas this program was initially intended for the extermination of the mentally ill, Jews too were killed as "enemies of Germany". Deals also with medical experiments in the concentration camps (Buchenwald, Natzweiler, Dachau, Auschwitz, and Ravensbrück). Contends that most of the experiments had no scientific significance; they constituted a part of the extermination program. Pp. 205-221 deal with Mengele and his experiments with twins.
